About [Sasaoka] Bonsai Twig Shears (small / Right-handed)

First of all, it is worth noting that it is very cost-effective. Although these pruning shears are made by hand through all the processes of forging, welding, and sharpening, they are very reasonably priced. The reason for this is simple: the cost of living in the Kochi area is lower than the standard price range in Japan.

Sasaoka factory makes traditional Japanese pruning shears, and these shears are especially specialized for removing buds and pruning intricate, thin branches. Regular pruning shears, such as the Okubo and Kyo styles, have the cutting blade close to the hand, but cannot reach far. Unlike other shears, these shears are specially designed for picking buds because you can use your fingers while holding the shears. Since the emphasis is on small size and precision, they don't have much power. The blade is made of blue paper steel (Aogami) No. 2, which improves sharpness and durability.

About Sasaoka, the blacksmith who manufactured this product (Kochi pref)

Eiji Sasaoka, the first generation, and Satoru Sasaoka, the second generation, are the only Hasami Blacksmiths in Tosa (Hasami means clippers, scissors, shears, pruners, secateurs, etc). According to Mr. Satoru, "The Mr. Eiji has a strong spirit of challenge and has great skills. And I think that my characteristic is to work carefully." In fact, the Hasami of Sasaoka that the two of them produce are a collaboration of skill and politeness. Looking at the mallet marks and sharpening marks, you can feel the warmth of handmade. On the other hand, when you actually use it, it cuts smoothly. The Hasami and knives in particular are carefully hand-sharpened, so the blades are very beautiful. Another feature of Sasaoka Scissors Manufacturing is that they can produce a wide variety of cutlery and tools using scissors as their basic technology. At the age of 24, Mr. Eiji set up a blacksmith factory here in Ino City, Kochi Prefecture, but when he was making Hasami, neighbors asked him to make kitchen knives and farming tools. Mr. Eiji, who has a strong spirit of challenge, quickly expanded the product categories of Sasaoka.
